29 Signs You're From Cheshire, Connecticut

Some of us enjoyed growing up in this small town, everybody-knows-everybody's-business environment. Some of us couldn't wait to get the heck outta town after graduation. Either way, there is a common bond between Cheshire's residents. Here is a list of signs that you hail from one of the most boring towns in good ol' Connecticut:

1. Your first stop on your way home from any break is to get Choffee.

2. You have yelled at every person who pronounced it Che-SHIRE.

3. You’ve sat in the student section at a football game.

4. The phrase “the bubble popped” has a whole different meaning for you.

5. You sometimes forget that Cheshire Academy exists.

6. You think that we have way too many CVS/Walgreens/Rite-aids’ for one town.
